The Big Picture

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to cosponsor the Support Children Having Open Opportunities for Learning (SCHOOL) Act, H.R. 1770 and S. 665, if they haven’t already done so. Introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) the SCHOOL Act would grant American families more choice in how their children are educated both during the COVID-19 pandemic and long after schools return to normal.

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to support the Bring Entrepreneurial Advancements To Consumers Here In North America (BEAT CHINA) Act, H.R. 6690. Introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), the BEAT CHINA Act would provide tax incentives to medical and pharmaceutical companies to bring their manufacturing operations to the United States.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor the Coronavirus Regulatory Repeal Act, H.R. 6691, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas). The Coronavirus Regulatory Repeal Act would ensure that any federal regulation repealed or modified during the coronavirus pandemic is permanently repealed the day after the expiration of the national emergency period.

This week has marked a significant turning point in American attitudes regarding the coronavirus crisis and, more significantly, the stay-at-home orders that have swept our nation and devastated our economy. Such orders have mandated certain activities -- often under threat of criminal penalty -- and required closure of businesses deemed “nonessential” by various government officials.

On Friday, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) sent a letter with 20 of his colleagues to President Trump urging him to oppose any additional coronavirus relief packages while our country awaits the full impact of the last three phases, including the most recent $2.3 Trillion CARES Act. Among the signers of the letter are Republican Study Committee Chairman Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), renowned budget hawk Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), and others.

FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for January 2020 is the Know Debt Resolution, H.Res. 686, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas). The Know Debt Resolution would require the Clerk of the House of Representatives to place a real-time display of the national debt -- otherwise known as a debt clock -- in the main hearing rooms of both the House Appropriations Committee and the House Budget Committee.
